Cyanogen's services and nightly builds are shutting down next week

It's been a rough couple of months for Cyanogen that saw the company undergo a round of layoffs, shutter its headquarters, and part ways with its co-founder Steve Kondik. The company has now announced that it will be shutting its services and nightly builds after December 31.

As part of the ongoing consolidation of Cyanogen, all services and Cyanogen-supported nightly builds will be discontinued no later than 12/31/16. The open source project and source code will remain available for anyone who wants to build CyanogenMod personally.

Essentially, what this means is that devices running Cyanogen OS will no longer pick up updates, and will entirely rely on the community-driven CyanogenMod ROM for further development.

Cyanogen OS gained momentum thanks to its partnership with OnePlus on the OnePlus One, but that relationship soured thanks to an exclusive deal Cyanogen made with Indian handset manufacturer Micromax. That exclusivity deal ended earlier this year, paving the way for Lenovo's ZUK Z1. The partnership with Lenovo didn't work out as well, as the ZUK Z1 never received any updates.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they're shutting down nightly CyanogenMod builds since although they are community driven Cyanogen Inc is the ones running software that generates the nightly builds and supporting the server's that pushes updates for those builds. I'm hoping that the community will continue to drive CyanogenMod ROM development, but nightlies are looking like a thing of the past for now.

How were OnePlus being dishonest! OnePlus put Cyanogen on the map and from what I know it was Cyanogen who broke the agreement, I don't feel sorry for them, they should have stuck with OnePlus, they're reaping what they've while OnePlus are on the up. Sounds to me you have something against OnePlus Jerry.
